He did amazing with my boys, Pippin and Ripley! He helped clean out after two potty accidents, and kept the pups happy and well-loved! Such a good experience for my first time leaving my pups overnight.

Always a pleasure working with Erik. He has an excellent relationship with my dog Lou, and I'm happy to trust him with Lou's care. Lou is a reactive, 70lb pitbull, and Erik manages him well.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding- I make all animals feel at home in my house, I will always be present if need be or not away for more then 2-3hrs. I will remain in contact with the pet parent and keep updates on their pet(s). I will take them out regularly for pee/poo breaks and exercise. I will feed them as directed and any other care that is needed such as medications, bathing, and topical or therapy treatments. Sitting- I enjoy meeting the animals in their own home, and do my best to always make sure the routines are set in place just as normal when the pet parent(s) are away. I will remain in contact with them and give any updates during the sitting. I will promise to take care of the home and be of service to the pet at all times when needed. Doggy daycare- For the daycare services, they are welcomed into my home. I will set up a routine with the daytime services that are requested by the pet parent(s). Drop Ins- I will do the amounted time that is required, and take excellent care of the pet(s). Do what is required and asked of me by the pet parent(s) for drop-in care. Walks- I will walk the pet(s) as needed and requested by the pet parent(s) and make sure they get the recommended time of walk, exercise needed, as well as monitoring the pet(s) abilities during the service; such as, weather conditions, duration of the walk, exhaustion of the pet(s), and if the pet is needing water when returning from walks.
